Description

historically, the python client used the asset key (blindly) as asset download file name, but that is deprecated behavior.
also see #820

The STAC file extension (maturity level stable) seems to provide a field file:local_path to suggest the target download file name:

Which would be better that the current ad-hoc best-effort guessing
